Buy A Boat (BAB) - Alpha FFABB Rent To Buy Programme

£300.00

Alpha FFABB denotes grant towards substantial life changing equipment or tools that is valued over £150.

The scheme operates as a Rent To Buy basis whereby the item is initially rented out to the FABBEE. But the rental payment goes towards paying the 50% of the value of the boat. We ensure the monthly rental rate is affordable and reasonable. Once they have paid it off, it becomes their very own property.

Amcariza never ever charges interest. We believe in grants. In return for getting the chance to buy a subidised equipment - they are also asked to make a monthly money free communuty gesture, which is reasonable and aimed at spreading joy throughot the local community. It also serves to empower the boatman to realise that he too is someone of great value to society. Who can help another.

The FFABB PROMISEWe suggest once a month, the boatman donates a portion of fish he has caught via Amcariza to a hungry individual or family in need.

Until the boat is paid off, it remains the property of Amcariza. Nor can the boat be sold after he owns the item. This helps to encourage the FFABBEE to take control, be motivated and gives access to life changing interest free capital working asset.

WHY?A boat can change lives. An entire community.

A wooden boat in remote villages can provide a sustainable income source for a man and his family in many a poor nation. The tiny one man river boats in communal villages do a vital job of ferrying local people, their wares, local goods (vegetables, fish, handicrafts) from across one side of the bank to the other. It helps open up the local marketplace for many of the rural folks who wander through paddy fields, selling their wares.

INCOMEOften the single fare can be 10p. Are your ready to buy someone a boat.

FFABB PROMISEUntil the boat is paid off, we expect the FFABBEE to carry a free passenger in need, at least once a day. A certificate will be awarded.
